I think people are really happy for someone if they win the lottery. If someone builds the same amount of money through hard work they are demonized. I don't get it. Explain.

It can't be explained because your post is nonsense.

They're demonized when they take that hard earned money and shove into off-shore accounts that can't be taxed fairly and per the law.

Please explain the mechanics of this accusation. Step by step, how would one go about doing that? Start with explaining how one can produce the income to be hidden without the entity that's transferring that money having to report the income and to whom it was paid.

Heck, even the casinos in Las Vegas have to report any gambling winnings of $600 or more to the IRS. How does someone go about generating the kind of money that's worth "shoving into off shore accounts" without the IRS knowing about it?

Unless/until you can prove that it's possible, the readers will have no other option than to believe that you're full of crap.

If they've done nothing against the law by doing so then they are within the law.

Is it against the law to put your money someplace else in the world than here in the US?

You're obviously not part of the 99%. If you were, you'd get it.

You're clearly just a 1%er who's so filthy stinking rich that you don't have anything to do all day but post on City-Data, spreading your elite lies and propaganda trying to convince the gullible masses that they're better off being poor and homeless and eating cat food than earning a liveable wage. You do this after you've spent your morning shuffling your money around in tax-free off shore accounts, using private couriers to transfer your wealth (in small, unmarked, non-sequentially numbered bills) on your own personal Learjets to island countries that are the size of Manhattan. Or something...

You mean by taking the money out of the pockets of hard workers by firing them. Romney is rich because of his daddy and then gaming the system that is geared towards making the rich richer. Romney has never been in the middle or lower class much like most lottery winners are, we like to see rags to riches.

Apparently - just ask hammellr. That's what I was trying to get him/her to explain. I'm waiting for that answer with giddy anticipation.
